It's crazy how many people use Death of the Author to mean "separating the art from the artist" when it's actually not supposed to have anything to do with who the author is as a person and is supposed to be about the idea that the author's interpretation of their own work should not be seen as the definitive, correct opinion on that work. Like you're not supposed to invoke Death of the Author when JK Rowling devotes her entire life and fortune to transphobia, you're supposed to invoke it when Trent Reznor says Closer by Nine Inch Nails isn't a sex song.

Sometimes fandom is like I wish I could find it in my heart to tolerate your guy. You look like you’re having such fun chewing on him.

my possibly bad deltarune take is that i find it peculiar that despite the game going out of its way to make it clear that the player is "trapped" in their role in this game (the soul being locked in cages, shut away in boxes, having kris be literally described as a "cage" in the prophecy"), people still act as though the player playing the game is some inherent act of evil .

Kris heavily resents the situation, that can't be denied. But it is obvious to me that the player ultimately is an unwitting cog in someone else's master plan. (A plan that kris is themselves a part of and is more privy to than we are). And while it's true the player controls kris a majority of the time, from the very start the game makes sure to let you know you do not have near as much control over the situation as you think, if any at all.

Now, I do not say this to be against Kris. I could be wrong, but it feels they are as trapped in this plan as we are despite being one of the ones orchestrating it. I just think a lot of people think more antagonistically about the player than maybe they really should

when people talk about dieting or weight loss to me after i've asked them not to, i've started replying with things about eating or food.

"ugh wish i could have a brownie but i'm trying to lose weight!" "i had a cheesecake last night that was delicious! i even brought some for my lunch today."

Full respect to the deltarune transfem headcanons like I 100% see them too but I do take issue with people saying the only reading for the stuff the characters experience is transfem when much of it can be (and I'd argue explicitly is) racial. Its a story about a ethnic minority child being raised by parents who, despite their best efforts can't understand them. Changing their name after adopting a child from a different ethnicity is so common. Susie being treated like a threat and a problem child even tho she hasn't actually done anything looks almost exactly like my childhood. Idk its probably cause this is the 80% white website but its so much the experience of being a poc in a white neighborhood that I'm shocked more people arent talking about it
